More Live Music Lovin’ In Downtown Barrie: April 24th, 2009

Filed under Announcement, Barrie Events, Barrie-Community Events, Barrie-The Foxx Lounge

Hit up Barrie’s best music hot spot for another Friday of fun!  When cruising the downtown strip on a party weekend, many seem to be drawn to The Foxx Lounge!

If you have not yet caught on, I will inform you:  The Foxx Lounge, where Shane Heath from Barrie’s own One Star Studio’s always guarantees an amazing show with energy and excitement.  I am sure those who have attended have an array of different opinions.  In the positive light and for the majority, it is basically a great time with all sorts of music.  I think it is an adventure to wander in and not know exactly what you will hear, who you will hear.  All part of the fun!

Imagebee.netI have started to notice a usual crowd that gathers at The Foxx for the Friday night of mayhem.  These people are various minds alike that have found the treasure that lies within this retro-vibe lounge.  The gift of a bar that dedicates its Friday night business to the underground music crowd and those they support; just what our Barrie downtown culture needed!  Remember, this city is a hidden stream of culture and art, waiting to erupt into a colorful city of art and expression.  Big title?  Yes, and you bet the citizens within can live up to the standard.  Because I have seen it for myself, with every new eccentric soul I cross paths with.  Believe it, it’s here.

Indie, Metal, Punk, Ska, Rock in general, you shall hear something of the sort, that is, if you join us for such an event.  For those who find Barrie has made no room in the downtown spectrum for the not-so-mainstream music, check this out, with an open mind..of course!  People need people, preferably with similar tastes, and the out-of-the-norm now has a homestead! Encourage those around you to get involved in what they have been afraid of yet waiting for.

Imagebee.netThis Friday, April 24th, 2009, The Foxx and One Star Studio will be welcoming Chop Suicide, a past rock-punk favorite, especially among the male audience, for another insane night of performance and craziness.  Chop Suicide has been a merging success throughout our province and country, with their saucy rock n roll style.  Busy, but has not forgotten the Barrie fans they have gathered!  Boys, if you haven’t seen this band yet, check it out, you may have a new-found crush on the lead singer, who makes the ’sauce’ a reality!  Hot stuff…

Accompanying Chop Suicide will be Buzz Deluxe! and Transwell, formally The Sallys.  Good combination for a night of ambitious punk rock with a twist of styles abroad that makes up a night of wild, spontaneous fun.

Check out all these wicked bands, you won’t be disappointed!

The Foxx Lounge, 46 Dunlop St., Beside The Roxx, Barrie, ON!  Doors at 9:30 pm, 19 +, $5!  Be There!

Imagebee.netArtists of all kinds from all around the world gather for this meeting to put on a great show and expose their visions.  Not only are they sharing their own creations, but a powerful underlying meaning to these concepts that reflect our world issues today.  There will be a heavy focus on the destruction our society provokes in so many different aspects.  The best form of understanding is witnessing the show and ideas with your own eyes, leading to your own personal interpretation.  I am sure you will take something meaningful from this experience that will alter your perspective, broaden your horizons, making you a more informed individual in this world of chaos and false truth.

Dane Cook has really taken our nation by storm over the years with his stand up comedy and movies and continues to do so.  He originally established himself in 1994 when he moved to New York for an opportunity to perform in a Comedy Club and College circuits.  Shortly after he began his journey he quickly became well known as a stand-up comedian & actor all across North America.

We all love the local bands that show us a good time on frantic nights of mayhem, but it is always great to have a band from afar come up and jam the night away.  Sound like a good time?

Sari Delmar from Audio Blood Media will be bringing her musical crew to our great city of Barrie for a night of awesome new-age indie tunes that I honestly think almost anyone could groove to.  Audio Blood Media constantly brings us great new talents to enjoy and for that we got to love it & support it!

The show will be held this Saturday, April 11th, 2009, at Oscar’s Restaurant, 52 Bayfield St., Barrie, ON, from 11 pm-2 am.

The Junction will be joining us from Brampton, ON, to share with their experimental pop-rock sound tracks you can be sure to ’sing along’ with.  Confused by the quotations?  Come to the show, you’ll get it!  They will have some new material for us so let’s give them our energy in return.  Fair trade?

Imagebee.netVibes of all good nature will be set at this event, as the Double Door Studio is in an old barn with many distance memories yet open to so many new.  Once you have seen Louis Warpath’s work, you will understand why the connection between the setting and the art is so strong.  This is an official gallery with a historic base, so no need to worry when I say old barn.

I hope to see many of you there to share the experience!

Since 1999 over 500 cities across Canada have signed up to celebrate The Global Marijuana March(GMM), also known as Million Marijuana March(MMM). The Global Marijuana March is a celebration of people’s personal lifestyle choices of smoking pot and is held every first Saturday of May throughout the world. This year so far there has been 246 cities that are participating in the annual event and every year it keeps growing rapidly with numerous newcomers joining.

The Global Marijuana March allows ‘Marijuana Enthusiasts’, a.k.a Pot Head’s, to  come together and parade the streets of their local townships while smoking weed legally, or at the very least the police look the other way for this one day. During this celebration people walk the roads in support of legalizing Marijuana, protesting that it really isn’t any different from our legalized drug or substance; alcohol, and socialize with friends to have a good time.

On May 2, 2009 at Queens Park North in Toronto their will be over 20,000 people marching to express their opinions on the subject, with 50+ vendors & exhibitors, four stages of live music & speakers and of course lots of munchies!

For more information you can visit the official Global Marijuana March website to find out about other cities participating.

Up and rising indie-rock bands will be all the rage on Friday, April 10, 2009 at The Fox Lounge, beside The Roxx Nightclub, on 46 Dunlop St., Barrie, ON.  Cover charge is $6 and of course, drinks are $2.50 before 11 pm.  Coming up from Toronto, Audio Blood Media and Barrie’s own One Star Studio are featuring some great bands that will be sure to rock you like a hurricane!

If you have ever been to The Foxx Lounge on a Friday than you know it is always a good time going with friends, making new friends and a good atmosphere overall.  One Star Studio always has a great band set to play for the avid music lovers, whether it be the indie rock vibe, metal rages or just plain rock, there is something good in store for us!

Friday, April 10th will be a night focused on the ever-growing indie-rock sound, which is so great if you love the array of instrumentals, harmonious vocals, various styles combined, or all of the above..

What bands will be enlightening our senses this Friday you may be wondering?
Individuals
Black Hat Brigade, an experimental compilation of big beat sound from Brampton are joining us!  They have their first EP out, titled “Fathers” and have an upcoming EP release this coming May 2009.

Photo By Brandyn BishopDo you recall the band ROCKETS!? Well they are back in action for a reunion show.  All band members having the obligation of school, the band was put on hold. Can’t go wrong with up and down guitar riffs, upbeat overall sound!

When you are having a blast in an atmosphere such as The Foxx Lounge, new-found home of our underground musicians, it is always good to hear some craziness, get down to some dance (total random) provoking jams that keep the energy flowing til the after party.  That is pretty much what will happen when Ages Of Men, a band whose members come from all the small towns mostly known in Ontario, with their electro hardcore-ness they seem to carry along with them.

DD/MM/YYYY will be tearin’ up a storm for us, as they have just released their new album “Black Square”.  They will be an amazing highlight to the night of magical music, there sound truly being like know other.  With very unique sounds that leave you wondering what made the sound in the first place, an orchestra of vocals creating the harmonious rhythm, lets get with this jive!
are they masks city?

See you there!
